背景以往的研究表明，抽象概念的教学可以通过使用具体的例子来加强，但很少有对照研究。目的复制Rawson et al.（2015）实验1的关键发现。方法实验参与者学习心理学中抽象概念的定义，有或没有具体的例子。复制与Rawson等人的不同之处在于使用付费的在线参与者池，非心理学学生，以及专注于关键结果的精简方法。结果具体例子对抽象概念的学习有促进作用。关键的发现是增强了对先前未见的与学习定义相匹配的示例的识别，从而复制了Rawson等人的结果，效应大小d = 0.30。结论使用在线付费参与者池对非心理学学生进行心理学概念教学时，使用具体的例子可以促进抽象概念的学习。教学启示心理学中抽象概念的教学可以通过经常使用具体的、现实世界的例子来帮助。
Background Prior research suggests that the teaching of abstract concepts can be enhanced by the use of concrete examples, but there are few controlled studies. Objective To replicate key findings from experiment one from Rawson et al. (2015). Method Experiment participants studied definitions of abstract concepts from psychology, either with or without concrete examples. The replication differed from Rawson et al. by using a paid online participant pool, of non-psychology students, and a trimmed methodology focused on the key outcome. Results Concrete examples enhanced learning of abstract concepts. The critical finding was enhanced recognition of previously unseen examples matched to learned definitions, thus replicating the results of Rawson et al., with an effect size d = 0.30. Conclusion The use of concrete examples was found to enhance learning of abstract concepts when teaching concepts from psychology to non-psychology students using an online paid participant pool. Teaching Implications The teaching of abstract concepts in psychology could be helped by frequent use of concrete, real-world examples.
